Add custom script at startup

It's possible to add a custom script at startup?     It's very easy actually... that's possible by using chkconfig command, but there's another choice? as example using the bigstart command...

The code is the next:

 

 

if [ -e /config/file.pipe ]; then  
     while [ -e /config/file.pipe ]  
     do  
         tail -f /var/log/wa/access/file.log > /config/file.pipe  
     done  
 else  
     mkfifo /config/file.pipe  
 fi

 

 

It's related with this post.

I use the script to send the WA log files to a pipe; that pipe is used finally as a source to syslog-ng config file.

 

 

It should be an infinite loop, but it seems that it isn't.

 

 

Thanks
